Quotable Quotes
- "Children don't read to find their identity, to free themselves from guilt, to quench the thirst for rebellion or to get rid of alienation. They have no use for psychology.... They still believe in God, the family, angels, devils, witches, goblins, logic, clarity, punctuation, and other such obsolete stuff.... When a book is boring, they yawn openly. They don't expect their writer to redeem humanity, but leave to adults such childish illusions." ~ Isaac Bashevis Singer

Kim Xiong: Little Stone Lion
Chinese lions are usually created in male-and-female pairs, but the stone lion in this book is a village's "only stone lion" - "smaller than a cat". older than the "oldest village elder", friendly champion of small children, loved by everyone, a comforting constant in a changing world. Gentle words and soft colours capture the dignity and mystery of this ancient symbol of truth and protector against evils - a truly magical way of introducing old traditions to a new generation.
